By night, Hester's body is her own.
By day, it belongs to her shadow.
When the shadows-that-be decide to possess their humans 24/7, Hester cons her flatter half to find her shadow-napped brother before humans are left in the dark forever.
#YA Futuristic #F #LGBT #SFF #DVPit
Camping in a post-apocalyptic orchard? No one's that desperate for a boyfriend...except Vespertine's flatbrained shadow.
Good thing there's a grumpy rebel out there who thinks Vess is too handsome to leave for dead—not that he'll admit it.
#YA Futuristic #F #SFF #DVPit
Vespertine’s body belongs to his ditzy shadow by day…until said flatbrained shadow plans a romantic getaway in a nuclear wasteland.
A grumpy rebel with a cause could get them home—if Vess joins his plot to separate humans & shadows forever.

When Vespertine’s impulsive shadow strands the two of them in a nuclear disaster area (after an equally disastrous romantic getaway), they must disarm & charm a grumpy rebel with a cause to survive a second apocalypse…and each other.

In a future where humans live “freely” at night while their shadows possess their bodies by day, tragically competent Hester cons her flatter half to find her shadow-napped brother before humans are left in the dark forever.

Hester cursed herself, and her flatbrain of a shadow, but mostly herself.
(And just for fun, you can find the opening from Hester's brother’s first POV chapter below!)
